Some of the original events included 40wt Stout, daylight at midnight at Panamint springs, (magnalloy), the magical fiddling of Nate Rubin, Flannel, Big Sur, and the mysterious keys to the kingdom. As we wandered up to Darwin Falls in Death Valley National Monument we passed one of those water survey 'out houses'. I asked Bradley what he thought was inside, he said I'll show you, fetched out a key, opened the lock...All the keys are the same and Bradley had worked for USGS. The Pinnacle of kerfluffle happened at Pinnacles National Monument, Joe Earnest, I mentioned before and kids and wife were there, Martha was there, Coyote was there, I was there, Jeff Schneider and his dawg, Rusty van Bondo, and a host of others watched while some nasty bits regarding burning a plastic cup polarized the group and led to it's eventual retirement. The spirit lives on in the great north wet. BusGirl is still teaching music in Moraga, Nathan Rubin http://www.sfcv.org/arts_revs/rubintribute_10_18_05.php is fiddling around up there somewhere. And the cane rattler still cooks chili. Pensioner.
